- Landing coverage itself will start some 30 minutes before touch down in the steppes of Kazakhstan, scheduled at 0838 GMT, (tx 0800-0935GMT).

The ESA Italian astronaut will then return to Johnson Space Centre, Houston, for checkups and research into how humans adapt to living in space. Provided he feels able, Paolo Nespoli may give some brief interview comments before departing Karaganda.

All highlights will be posted as soon as possible on the ESA TV ftp server:
